Dear Griffon family,
WOW! What a year! It is hard to believe that my time as our Alumni Association President is coming to a close. It has been an honor to serve and I look forward to contributing in any other capacities to continue to assist our alma mater.
This year has been an excellent one for or organization and Missouri Western. We’ve seen success in our increased number of volunteers in alumni chapters, the continued growth of amazing programs such as Mama Griffs, and so much more! None of these accomplishments could take place without the hard work of our Alumni Association board members and chapter volunteers. So I’d like to take this time to say thank you to those individuals who have given of their time and treasure. We couldn’t do it without you!
I’d like to end my term with something I said in my first column as your president: I want to encourage engagement with the University.
This can take many forms, like being up-to-speed on campus events via social media and our publications, being a donor to the Missouri Western State University Foundation, or attending on- or off-campus events. Your level of commitment is yours to define.
Whatever way you choose, I hope you continue to keep Missouri Western and its best interests in mind.
Stay connected, stay committed. Go Griffs!
Shelby Coxon ’99
Alumni Association President
